Airdrop equipment and services are used to resupply otherwise inaccessible troops. This was developed during World War II and came in very handy where troops were behind enemy lines and need supplies. Early airdropped packages were conducted by dropping or pushing padded bundles from aircraft. They later developed small crates with parachutes were pushed out of the aircraft's side cargo doors. Later cargo aircraft were designed with rear access ramps, lower-able in flight, that allowed large platforms to be rolled out the back. Airdrop flights can also be used to drop personnel into areas behind enemy lines.
